Mom's with GD..

Sorry if this has been asked. For the mom's with GD, what do you normally have for lunch? I'm looking for some ideas. This is all new to me. Thanks!

FYI: The high risk board has a ton of posts about diet for GD. When I was on it 2 or so years ago for PIH, I noticed how knowledgeable and helpful those girls are.

Good luck!

I usually bring leftovers that I made for dinner the night before. If I don't have anymore I will have peanut butter on whole wheat bread with a yogurt or some fruit.

I will usually eat a turkey sandwich with lite wheat bread and cheese, or a can of spaghetti o's (with meatballs) with cheese, or a peanut butter sandwich. It all depends how many carbs you are allowed to have for lunch. I am allowed up to 3 servings of carbs. Just make sure to balance your carbs with protein (which is why I will have cheese on my sandwich or with my spaghetti o's). My body absolutely LOVES peanut butter. My numbers are always really good whenever I have peanut butter. The spaghetti o's are just something I've been craving, but probably not the healthiest. I only eat 3/4 of the can because the carb count isn't the best.

I was a wreck when I first started the GD diet because I didn't want to eat anything that would hurt my baby. Now it's not difficult at all. Feel free to PM me if you need any help

Thank you. I am allowed 30 g carbs at breakfast and 70 at lunch. Unfortunately, I ate exactly to the plan at breakfast and my blood sugar level was still 177 an hour after. Now, I'm worried.

For breakfast, I have the same thing every morning because it keeps my numbers in line. I eat a peanut butter sandwich on lite wheat bread and 1 cup of coffee with cream and sweetener. My numbers never go above 100.

That is the same thing that happened to me at breakfast. I ate 30 grams and no matter what I ate it would shoot up in the 170's. I am just really insulin resistant in the morning and don't tolerate carbs well early. I take insulin with breakfast now. I hope you can get yours under control without doing that. It is frustrating when you do what they tell you and it still goes up. Good luck!
